- 12 - Letters from Patrick Manson to Ross on Ross' research into the transmission of malaria by mosquitoes

Ref No	GB 0809 Ross/12/05
Level	Item
Title	Letter
Date	28/6/1895
Description	Manson suggests that Ross repeats his last experiment to see if it were more than a coincidence and asks Ross to send him all his facts and some slides for his opening of a debate on malaria at a British Medical Association meeting. He has a theory that the infected mosquitoes pass malaria parasites to their offspring who infect man through drinking water and suggests various experiments to test it. He adds that his guinea worm embryos are still alive after seven weeks and that he is wondering whether to risk swallowing one or two.
